Smoking Pipe.

UNITED STATES PATENT OEEICE.

GEORGE H. OHINNOGK, OF NEV YORK, N. Y.

SMOKING-PIPE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 59,184, dated October 30, 1866 antedated October 19, 1866.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, GEORGE H. GHINNocK, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Smoking- Pipes 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ot' this specification, in Which- Figure 1 is a central longitudinal section of a pipe with my improvement. Figs. 2, 3, and 4 represent the parts of the stem of thc pipe detached.l

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

This invention consists in a novel construction of the stem of a smoking-pipe, whereby the collection ot' the oil or juices distilled from tobacco in smoking are collected and prevented from returning to the bowl, and great convenience is alibrded for cleaning out.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed to describe it with reference to the drawings.

The stem is composed of three principal part-s, represented separately in Figs. 2, 3, and 4. The part represented in Fig. 2 consists of a plain tube, A, of glass or other hard smooth material, of any length, according to the desired length of the stem. The part represented in Fig. 3 consists of two pieces-viz., a short tube, B, of glass or other hard smooth material, and a shorter hollow plug, C, of cork or other soft and elastic material, into which the tube B is inserted tightly in such manner as to protrude some distance above its upper end, the lower part ofthe said plug being made to fit into the neck a of the pipe-bowl D, and the upper part to t into the lower end of the tube A. The part represented in Fig. 4 consists of ahollow socket, E,havin gthe mouthpiece F attached securely to its upper end, and having screwed into or irmly secured into its lower end a hollow plug, G, of cork or other soft and elastic material, which is hushed or lined with a small tube, b, of glass or other hard smooth material, (shown in Fig. 1,) and' the lower part of which, protruding from the socket E, is made to tit into the upper part of the tube A.

In smoking, the oil or liquid which condeuses in the stem runs down the smooth inner surface of the tube A, and into the annular space c between it and the -upper part of the tube B.

To clean out the stem, it is taken from the bowl and taken apart, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4, the mannerin which the plugs G and G, of cork, are applied enabling them to be separated easily from the tube A, and affording much better facility for cleaning than when either or both the plug C and socket E are permanently secured to the tube A, as is customary. The several parts, when separated, can be easily washed with warm water. The oil or liquid collected in the space c around the tube B can be emptied out, without taking the stem all to pieces, by simply pulling oil' the tube A from the plug G, which will draw out of the saidtube more easily than from the neck a of the bowl, as the latter is of less smooth material.

I do not claim the combination of the external tube, A, and internal tube, B, as shown il? patent granted C. Hingher, August 6,1861;

What I claim as my invention, and desire vto secure by Letters Patent, is-

'Ihe pipe-stem consisting of the parts A, B', G, E, F, and G, combined, constructed, and arranged as and for purposes herein described.
